Carson is now a pro at walking and he is everywhere! He has no fear and loves to climb on everything, including the stairs - good thing for baby gates! He has also started saying a few words. In addition to "mama" and "dada" we've heard "car", "cat", "hi"/"hey", "bye" and "Pete" (which comes out like "ete", with no P). 
Right now Carson really likes playing with his mega blocks. He uses the single pieces to make tall towers to carry around. He also likes to knock over whatever anyone else is trying to build. Recently he has started to enjoy being read to. I had been trying to get him to sit so I could show him a book but he would close it on me or try to turn the pages really fast. Now he'll bring books over and sit for a whole story. His favorite books are "Where Are You, Pooh?" and "Cleo's Color Book" (this is where he learned the word cat).We are still dealing with teething too. I can't wait for this stage to be over with. Not only is the drool out of control but he's been fussy. Carson did great for the eight teeth he currently has but now he's cutting his one year molars and those seem to really bother him. He has been using the baby teething rings we still have in the freezer and gets extra popsicles.
As summer comes to an end we are really looking forward to fall. We want to take Carson apple and pumpkin picking.
